Poems from Ashdown Woods

Here is a little reading of some of the poems from my new book, A Glister of Leaves. These ones have their setting in common: all were inspired by the mixed oak woodland adjacent to Ashdown House, a National Trust property in the Lambourn Downs, where I regularly used to walk when I lived in the region.

The Covid-19 lockdown caused me to revisit many such old places in my memory, and the resulting poems, illustrated by photos I took some years ago, became the substance of my new collection.
